1. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve has hosted a remarkable 41 Grands Prix, making it the circuit outside of Europe with the most races in its history. This year, it is set to surpass the Nurburgring to secure fifth place on the list of venues with the most F1 races held.
2. An interesting trend has emerged since 2005 at Montreal, where every pole-sitter has either been a world champion already or has gone on to become one later. This remarkable streak showcases the caliber of talent that competes at this legendary circuit.
3. If Max Verstappen emerges victorious at the Canadian GP, it would mark his 41st career win, placing him on par with the iconic Ayrton Senna for fifth place on the list of most F1 victories. This achievement would solidify Verstappen’s status as one of the greatest drivers in the sport.
4. A victory for Red Bull in this race would be monumental, as it would mark their 100th win in F1. This elite milestone is currently achieved by only a select few teams, including Ferrari, McLaren, Williams, and Mercedes.
5. Lewis Hamilton’s track record at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve speaks for itself. He has consistently started from the top-five in every race and has always finished on the podium, except for one instance in 2018 when he finished in fifth place. Hamilton’s performance at this track showcases his skill and dominance.
6. Despite his skills, Sergio Perez has struggled to qualify higher than 8th place in Canada. Additionally, his most recent points-scoring finish at this circuit dates back to 2017. Perez will need to overcome these challenges to achieve a strong performance in this year’s race.
7. Red Bull could make history as the third team in F1 to win all of the first eight races in a season. This remarkable feat has only been achieved by McLaren in 1988 and Mercedes in 2019. Red Bull’s performance in the early races has been outstanding, and they have the potential to etch their name in the F1 record books.
8. If Hamilton emerges victorious this time, it would mark his eighth win at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. This would equal the record for the most wins by a driver at a single circuit, a testament to Hamilton’s mastery of this track.
9. Lance Stroll, a Canadian driver, has had success at his home races, scoring points in three out of his four appearances. Stroll’s performance in front of his home crowd highlights his skill and support from the local fans.
10. The current stretch of three straight races without a single Virtual Safety Car (VSC) or Safety Car (SC) period is a notable occurrence in the hybrid era. This demonstrates the smooth and uninterrupted flow of these races, providing an exciting and seamless experience for both drivers and fans.
